Re: # 10

Then who is gonna scout for the plots in DHA for General Sahib? Lahol wila Quwat. You are asking a cat to guard the milk.

Do you know the name of this Colonel? I can get this information to Lt.Gen. Hamid Javed, the president`s chief of staff.

Re: # 4

ah pahleez, spare us with the lecture on `respect for law`. How do you expect people to have respect for law when public officials - municiple workers in this case - communicate with you by kicking in your groin. At the most police should have done in such case was to arrest the people in the house for causing disturbance or interfering with an authority of law; in the later case only if the operation was sanctioned by court. But a whole swat team surrounding a house with a mother and two teen age sons; police beating them up while they were down on the ground; harrassing the bejesus out of citizens means that government institutions have failed. Fauji thugs have caused Pakistan to become a failed state. The society has disintegrated into the law of jungle where poor, weak, and vulnerable have been pushed down the food chain. The only solution to get back our society back from these bastards in power is by using force. Those at the helm must be guilotined. Yes, they have bigger guns than us, but remember we are the people.

reading stuff like this makes me want to move to India...oh wait a minute I live in England!
But sometimes in my moments of madness when i think i should go to pakistan and help the country with my technical skills I am brought down to earth by articles such as this.

Re: # 1

Maulana , why every civilian is most eager to buy property in DHA and live there ? Also mind your language; shows yours excellent background and education.

Re: # 4

Wow wow. You created a whole fairy tale of how this poor guy might have done something absolutely horrible to deserve this all.

Next thing you would blame him for be alive and not breathing according to the army`s wish.

I bet your chacha, mama taya, phuppa`s are all in army and wag their tails when they hear musharraf`s name.

[..Are we worse then Afghanistan and India?....]
Why are you insulting India for no reason? It is because of your hatred of India and hindus, that your army is so powerful and kicks your butt.

Listen I feel bad for the ordeal you`ve been through. But I strongly feel that part of the problem lies in our people not having respect for the law. You openly admit that there was a ``violation`` as per the DHA rules, and that you had been avoiding it for a while. Please tell us how many times you were informed of the violation and how many opportunities were you given to fix the problem? Not that I`m trying to justify their behaviour, but don`t make it sound like it was an unprovoked attack you went through.

Had you been a truly law abiding citizen, you (or your family) would have either fixed the violation the DHA was claiming, or you would have let them do their job.

Gauging from the background you`ve given (similar to mine), well-to-do kid from an elite school, I imagine you must have misbehaved with the visiting vigilantes to have provoked their attacks. I`ve lived in the country for a while and I know how things work, there must have definitely been a ``you don`t know whose son I am`` that provoked this...

In any case those buggers should be taught a lesson, but you, my friend, should learn to respect authority and abide by the law of the land...

I am sorry to hear about your ordeal but currently Musharraf needs our all out support in this tough time in this time of crisis. Anything against the army will be construed against musharraf which is against the greater good of nation and may lead to you being branded as a traitor.

I think you should leave the country, become an expatriate like us and sing the praise of current government because its promoting a positive image of the country with a few exceptions like you.

maulana urstruly: As we approach April 16th, don`t forget that your tax $$ are paying for this. Keep that in mind as you file your tax returns.

I feel so appalled at reading about the ordeal that you and your family went through. The downfall of these Gestapo, fascist, enlightened moderate m/fukrs is near. They have turned our society into jungle and people into vicious animals. Talk to the sisters of Hafsa College; they might be able to help you out. Enough is enough.
